Wherefore Art Thou, Robyn Ringler?

It has been almost a month since we last heard from our favorite commentally challenged anti-blogger, and that was merely to take credit for the "I do not accept comments because I don't have time and I'm always right!" quip in her blurb. Apparently she doesn't even have time to post anything new. Lest you think this is a personal attack, I'll say right now that is not so. Of all the anti-bloggers, she was one of the more entertaining. Her posts were always a highpoint, with fresh material to fisk; a veritable banquet of long disproved anti-gun talking points and emotional hysteria.

There is Bryan Miller of course, but let's face it, there's a nastiness to his posts which makes them hard to read, at least in one sitting. He's not afraid to get personal either, which is another mark against him. In fact, currently, he is involved with an on going feud with Scott Bach with whom he lost a televised debate back in 2004. One can see how that experience would make him a little testy, but it's still no excuse for losing your cool.

Well, Robyn, wherever you might be, here's to hoping you make it back to post yet another overly long and emotion driven piece as to why we should ban all guns. And if you decide to pack it in, like many have before you, there's no shame it that. Logic and facts win out every time over emotion and biased, discredited research.

Until next time, sweet dreams!

Robyn Ringler Takes Her Marbles and Goes Home

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, but today on Robyn's blog she announced she was closing comments. This follows the Brady Bunch closing comments on their own blog after getting hammered by pro-gun commenter's with the facts on their side. She of course tries to blame this on everything from "Death Threats" to the phases of the moon, and singles out one blogger in particular.

Honestly, this isn't a big loss as she has been deleting comments from people who had facts to refute her mostly emotional pleas. If she did let a comment get through, it was invariably from someone who couldn't control them self, with the intention of painting the pro-civil rights commenter's in a bad light. This in addition of allowing people who agreed with her to flame those who didn't and then deleting the comments the person would make in their defense. There was never any real attempt on her part to openly discuss the issues.

Seriously though, we can still comment on her disinformation on our blogs and it'll automatically be linked to her blog and name, guaranteeing a search engine hit refuting her misinformation.

So long Robyn, it was fun while it lasted, even though you never did let many pro-gun comments get though.
